After 9 years...my Hyundai Matrix Alternator says...Good Bye!!

With over 140,000km, the voltage meter seems to show some abnormal reading. The charging current of the alternator drop from 13.9 volt to 11.2 volt! I know something is wrong..it could be the alternator. Check the battery voltage, its healthy at 12.9volt. At the same time battery indicator and brake indicator light up on front dashboard! From here I was very sure..the alternator is dying slowly.

Quickly I got on the phone with my regular mechanic to source for the original alternator. The original maker is Valeo and we manage to get the alternator...everything fits in nicely.

I brought back the old alternator for servicing and perhaps sell it off.

Replacing Hyundai Matrix Inner Door Handle

My old Hyundai matrix reach a stage where 2 inner door handle( driver and rear right passenger) broken. I have the original as well a Taiwan made. Looks identical but the quality of finishing plus a clips are miles apart. The original cost me RM50 and Taiwan made cost me RM20..

Finishing of the original

Why must it be free ?

If you intend to  buy a cigarette at a 7-Eleven, do you think they can deliver to your step free of charges? If you want to buy an audio cd from the internet, do you think its free of charge on international delivery. If its free, the charges could be include with the costing but if its filthy cheap...something is not right.
Even you go to a mall to buy your favourate stuff,  the cost of fuel,highway toll, parking fee and return trip to home after doing your shopping...that would be the cost incurred buying item from the shopping mall and this is not free of charge, it just that you don't feel paying for it and expect those selling via online should do the same. Well you are wrong...nothing is free but you are given the pleasure of shopping via online without need to go thru the hassle like traffic,toll, excessive fuel wastage ,heat or rain or worst accident! Lets the seller do everything for you.

So please be understanding....nothing is free!
